The cost of the Drum Club and Mock Audition is $10. Extra lessons are the same cost, $19. I will update this page as I get requests beginning Saturday morning. I will also be available on Monday and Tuesday for one or two lessons after school at KMS if your student feels the extra help would be useful.

Thank you!

Last-Minute SDC/Lessons for Last Day of Summer!

I will have shortened sessions for both HS and MS students, along with very limited spots for lessons on Monday, the last day of summer. Please let me know if you will be attending so that I can see if there are enough students to hold the class.

Summer Lessons, Week Seven, 7/19-7/22

My wife will be at a conference beginning Thursday, so I'll only be available for lessons on Wednesday. If anyone is available to watch our five-month-old baby while my older daughter is at school on Thursday, I can do a short amount of time for lessons.

Summer Drum Club will continue next week. For Drumline members, even though Varsity Camp is canceled, we can still meet up for extra Drum Club sessions! Be on the lookout for further details.

I will be able to teach consistently on these days most weeks, unless I'll be out of town. Once we begin the Drum Club sessions I will also add more slots for lessons after the sessions. 

Ok, go ahead and email or text me your requests and I'll start adding to the schedule!

Makeup KMS Lessons Saturday 1/23

Hello! I'll be at the KHS Fine Arts Center for lessons before and during the rehearsal tomorrow (Mr. Maus has approved this) to help make up some missed lessons. I've already met some students today, so not everyone's name will be here. If you are unable to make the times as early as listed, let me know ASAP. Thank you!

Lessons for 1/18

Hello!

I will be available for lessons on Monday's holiday. It will also be the last day for lessons until at least Thursday: we are having a baby on Tuesday! My wife's mother will be in town to help and if things go smoothly I'll be at ISMS on Thursday and KMS on Friday. More info on those days to come, but I can't promise I'll be operating on normal sleep and energy!

Thank you!
